I own nothing. Enjoy! This only has a few more chapters!
"Nick," Greg said as I got dressed, "We should get some games for Angel."
"I agree," I said nodding, "Something is still bothering you."
"I'm just worried about Angel," he said sighing.
"I know," I said sitting next to him.
"What are we going to do?" he asked resting his head on my shoulder.
"We're going to figure it out later," I said kissing his lips, "But for now we're going to have fun."
"Okay," he said smiling, "Let's have fun."
I kissed Greg's lips gently and pulled him so we were both laying on the bed again. I knew that Greg was a little freaked out, but I knew that I needed to calm him down.
Kissing Greg's forehead once more we waited for him to say anything else. When he didn't I knew that he was thinking too much. Angel was his world and anything that hurt her hurt him.
I needed to figure out something to help Angel so Greg was happy again. I knew that my brother was going to be coming over for Thanksgiving, but I wasn't sure if anyone else was.
My brother had a daughter that was a year older than Angel. When the two of them met I hoped that it would be helpful. Angel might be a super smart girl, but she was still a little girl.
What was I supposed to do when a little girl that I loved was being hurt by how smart she was? I needed to help Angel. I know I had only known her for a few months, but she was like a daughter to be anyway.
"Nick, Hunny," Mom said knocking on the door, "James should be here soon. He's the only one that will be coming out of your brothers and sisters. Also, Angel and I will be heading out. Just wanted to tell you two."
"Thanks Mom," I said back, "See you guys later."
"Bye," she said before leaving.
"Your brother is coming?" Greg asked looking up at me.
"Yeah," I said nodding, "Him, his wife, Courtney, and his daughter, Mimi, come every year."
"How old is Mimi?" he asked resting his head back down.
"Eight," I said smiling.
"Great," he said happily.
"Come on," I said pulling him up, "Let's go get the toys for Angel."
"Okay," he said kissing me once more.
I loved the feeling of Greg's lips on mine. It was like perfection. I know nothing is perfect, but Greg's lips were the closet thing I could ever find. I never wanted to let go of Greg when we kissed.
I wrapped my arms around Greg and led him downstairs and to my dad. I told Dad that we were going to go get toys for Angel. Dad was happy about it, but said that he couldn't go with us and to have fun.
I wanted to get Angel a swing set because that's what he had the funniest on when we went to the park. It might cost a lot of money, but it would be worth it since I had a lot of nieces and nephews that would like it too.
I was amazed by how close I had gotten to Angel and I loved it. I loved being this close to Angel. Angel was amazing and I was glad that I was able to be close to her. She was the best thing had happened.
So was Greg. I loved Greg. I had loved Greg from the first day I had seen him. He was so smart and sweet and he cared so much about his family and friends. I knew that there was no one better for me.
I had never imagined my life like this. I always wanted a family, but this was not what I was expecting. It was a lot better though. Angel and Greg were my family now and it was the best thing.
I had a family of my own. Yeah, I might not be Angel's real dad, but the way I saw it nothing was going to be better. I didn't need to be Angel's real dad by blood because I was her real dad every other way.
"Nicky," Greg said as we got to the store, "Thank you."
"For what?" I asked confused.
"For being here for Angel and I," he said shrugging.
"I love you," I said turning to him, "And I love Angel. I don't want to be anywhere else."
"Good," he said hugging me, "Because you're not allowed to go anywhere else."
Laughing I kissed him softly before going to the outdoor department. Greg looked confused but I just pointed to the swing sets. Happiness filled his eyes and he hugged me tightly once again.
It was amazing that the smallest things made him so happy. And he wasn't happy because it was for him. It was because it was for Angel. Angel was the center of his world and I was okay with that.
Angel was slowly becoming the center of my world too. I knew that my family was complete whenever I was with Angel and Greg. Nothing was going to make me leave them.
I guess now that I thought about it I realized what some of the bad guys said when their children were brought into the mix. I didn't now that I would kill someone because Angel asked me to, but I would protect her.
"Wow," I said surprised.
"What is it?" Greg asked pulling some water guns off the shelf.
"I just realized something," I said smiling.
"And what's that?" he asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Angel is my daughter," I said happily, "And I want to protect her from everything."
"I know how you feel," he said putting them in the cart, "I feel that every time I see her."
"I love it," I said laughing.
"Wait until she does something to make you proud of her," he said smirking, "This feeling with double. Hell, it triples when she out of the blue just comes up and gives you a hug and says I love you."
"I can't wait," I said kissing his lips.
"Come on," he said tugging me back to the swings, "We need to get back to our daughter."
